Epsilon GC - The arbitrarily low overhead garbage (non-) collector

In Chapter 7, Leveraging the New Default G1 Garbage Collector, we detailed the enhancements to Java's Garbage Collection with the release of the Java 9 platform. In the spirit of continuous improvement, a Java Enhancement Proposal has been submitted to develop a garbage collection to specifically handle memory allocation. This garbage collector will signal the JVM to shutdown when no more memory is available on the Java heap.

The goal is for this garbage collector to be passive and use very limited overhead. The introduction of this garbage collection is not intended to degrade performance.

This change will not impact current garbage collectors.
